1Yes, you can read an entire book about tea. Why? Because matcha is no ordinary tea. And, if social media is any indication, it is quickly unseating coffee as the energy-boosting drink of choice. Why? Because this powdered green tea's caffeine kick produces no jitters, no crash, and--if that's not convincing enough--gives you fl ow-state energy coupled with mental clarity. Sound too good to be true? It isn't. Matcha: A Lifestyle Guide offers everything one needs to enjoy the green goodness at a matcha bar or in the home kitchen. Featuring dozens of recipes for sweet and savory foods as well as matcha-based drinks and cocktails, this is the fi rst book to cover both sides of matcha--ancient beverage and contemporary superfood--and is an essential guide for both matcha novices and the already converted.
